I can confirm that this is an issue. After testing, I can add that if the arrows for the input field in the "Bullets and Numbering" window (the arrows to the right of the input boxes) are used instead of typing and the Enter button is pressed to confirm, the window closes and the text formatting is updated properly.

Replicated as in description. Confirmed that comment 3, using the arrow buttons instead of entering text, works.
Additional testing reveals that clicking into a different text box before pressing enter will cause the text to update properly. This suggests that hitting the enter button does not call the form to read the currently selected entry and update it's stored values, only deselecting the text box does.

I was able to reproduce the bug with the following steps:

1. Open a blank document in Writer.
2. Type in a few lines of text (such as “test”).
3. Highlight all of the text and turn on Numbering or Bullets.
4. Open the Bullets and Numbering dialog menu, move over to Position.
5. Alter any value in that tab and hit ENTER.

I found that any of the values on this tab worked similarly to the initial report. As in Comment 4, I suspect this implies the issue lies in the action of hitting ENTER does not call for the saving of the data in the boxes. I tested by “clicking” OK, and the data was saved appropriately.

This bug is important to resolve in convenience only. It should be fixed as its behavior does not match common practices, but there is an easy work-around by clicking the OK button as opposed to the reliance on ENTER.
